Abstract: (250 Views)
Background: The ectopic presence of helminths and their eggs in the appendiceal duct can directly and indirectly with antigenic stimuli lead to the hyperplasia of lymphatic follicles in the wall of the duct and thereby cause duct obstruction and subsequently, acute appendicitis. The present study was designed to determine the extent of this role as well as the frequency of appendectomy samples with E. vermicularis during the last 10 years in Bushehr.
Materials and Methods: A number of 3210 slides related to appendiceal samples of appendectomy pa-tients were collected in Bushehr during the last 10 years (2013-2023) and examined in terms of microana-tomy. The results of microscopic evaluation as well as the information in the files of the samples were summarized and the data were analyzed with SPSS statistical software and chi-square test.
Results: The frequency of appendicitis caused by E. vermicularis in the studied samples was 0.8% and it has been decreasing in recent years. There was a significant relationship between appendicitis caused by E. vermicularis and the gender and age of the patients, but there was no significant relationship with the place of residence of the patients.
Conclusion: Considering the decreasing trend of appendicitis caused by Enterobius during the recent years in Bushehr, the effect of the covid pandemic can be considered to be involved in this conclusion. It is suggested to carry out preliminary evaluations for the early diagnosis of this parasitic infection, espe-cially in infected areas, in order to eliminate unnecessary surgical interventions.
